‘It's not nice to see' – Lewis Hamilton warned he's suffering from same issue as Michael Schumacher after Ferrari switch
LEWIS HAMILTON is "lost" and suffering the same problem that fellow Formula One icon Michael Schumacher did. Hamilton, 40, has struggled to extract top performance from his Ferrari machinery since joining the team over the winter. 4 Lewis Hamilton has been warned he is suffering the same issue as Michael Schumacher is Credit: Getty 4 Michael Schumacher won seven world titles like Hamilton, but had a break and never won a race again Credit: Getty The Brit has achieved one Sprint Race win in China but has otherwise failed to achieve a podium for the Scuderia. Former F1 star and Sky Sports F1 pundit Johnny Herbert believes Hamilton is suffering the same issues as That being the "raw pace just isn't there anymore", a thought which Herbert says is "not nice to see". Schumacher - READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Speaking to "I don't know if the raw pace that he's always had throughout his career is there anymore. "I thought, with the pure racing skill Hamilton had, he'd be able to drive around any problems with the car but he seems stuck in a hole. It's not nice to see. "It's not the first time we've seen it in the sport, though. Nigel Mansell won his championship in 1992, went to America in 1993, came back in 1994 and it didn't work anymore for him. Most read in Motorsport BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK "It happened with Michael Schumacher too, when he had his break and came back, then he wasn't the same Schumacher as before.

"There have been a couple of poor decisions in Ferrari's strategy and poor communication over the radio, Hamilton doesn't have the synergy with his engineer that he needs. "He hasn't found his comfort zone since the sprint win in China. "Sometimes you don't realise when it's not as easy as it was before, but when you look across the garage and your team-mate is outperforming you, then it may click. "The greats of the sport, at their peak, get the best out of their car. "He won't understand why he can't, because he'll feel like he should be able to. But, Leclerc is outperforming you in the same car. Leclerc is only going to grow and is in control of Ferrari's future. "He's the guy they can rely on, Ferrari can't rely on Lewis Hamilton at this point. It's horrible to say but it's the truth." Former Mercedes and McLaren star Hamilton appeared close to tears following the Spanish Grand Prix where he finished P6, even after a penalty for old rival Max Verstappen bumped him up the order. 4 Johnny Herbert suggested Ferrari 'can't rely on' Hamilton Credit: Getty 'It was a difficult day, I've got nothing else to add to it. There's no point explaining it." Hamilton will now have next weekend off to help him collect his thoughts before getting back behind the wheel for the Canadian Grand Prix on June 15.
